Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 17, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,878 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 721 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (30 of 42). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,255 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 13% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (1,109). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Yonge St between Glen Elm Ave and Lawton Parkette Trl, 162 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,600 vehicles a day. Heath St W between Yonge St and Bryce Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Oct 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Yonge St (224 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.8% of the 71,266 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 19, 2011.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Two thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
